In a well-ventilated area, cover a flat surface with a drop cloth or tarp to protect from overspray.
Step 2
Before starting, read your Krylon labels for safety, application, and dry-time instructions.
Step 3
Place the bicycle frame on the drop cloth. Remove or cover any areas you don't want to paint with painter's tape (wheels, handlebars, etc.).
Step 4
Smooth out any rust buildup with a wire brush (you can also use sandpaper).
Step 5
Wipe down the surface with a damp, lint-free cloth to remove rust particles or dust. Allow to dry before painting.
Step 6
Shake your Krylon can for at least 1 minute before spraying.
Step 7
To achieve the featured look, spray paint the frame of the bicycle with Gloss Sunbeam, staying 8-10 inches away to avoid drips. Recoat until you achieve the desired finish, waiting 1 minute between coats.
Step 8
Let the frame dry for 1 hour before setting up for the second color. Use tape to protect painted areas from overspray, as well as to create accent striping.
Step 9
Paint fenders and accent stripes with Satin Blue Peacock. Recoat until you achieve the desired finish, waiting 1 minute between coats.
Step 10
Wait 1 hour for paint to dry before carefully removing tape.
Step 11
Reassemble your bicycle and proceed to ride in style.
